Nigerians Still Binge 100-Episode Shows. Why Did Nollywood Stop Making Them? | YNaija (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a strange contradiction in the way Nigerians watch television today. We complain that local series rarely give us enough episodes to get properly attached, then spend weeks watching Turkish dramas, Korean series and foreign procedurals that stretch across dozens of episodes. We will follow one family, one detective or one love story for months. The appetite for long-form television clearly did not disappear. Nollywood’s supply did. There was a time when Nigerian television understood th
What Happened to the Nigerian TV Shows We Used to Live For? | YNaija (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when watching Nigerian television was built into the day. Tinsel had been running for years, The Johnsons became a family favourite, and Jenifa’s Diary gave viewers another reason to sit in front of the television every week.

Read excerpt
For more than four decades, Angélique Kidjo has built the kind of career that once offered African artists one of the few reliable routes to global recognition: leave home, enter international music circuits, earn the attention of established institutions and keep going long enough for those institutions to eventually acknowledge you. On August 18, the Beninese singer became the first African musician and first Black African to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, joining the 2,854 name
Could Nigerian Creators Be the Next Big Prize in the Streaming Wars? | YNaija (opens the original)
Read excerpt
YouTube and Netflix are increasingly competing for something neither platform traditionally owned: the creators who built their audiences elsewhere. Reports that YouTube is offering selected top creators multi-million-dollar incentives to keep them from taking exclusive deals with Netflix point to a shift in the creator economy. Platforms are no longer just competing for viewers; they are competing for the people who can bring those viewers with them. For years, the relationship seemed straightf
